BASLE, Switzerland, Nov. 26. So
cialists of the world have started a
move to discountenance war and will
attempt to prevent It, While social
ists have always taken a stand
against this mode of settling national
and international disputes, this Is
perhaps the first time that the issue
has assumed a world-wide phase. In
a declaration penned by Jean Jaures,
a French socialist leader, which has
been published by the International
Socialistic Congress, addressed to the
socialists of America and Europe,
ne urges them to resist attempts of
the nations to- plunge into war on
account of the threatening conditions
prevailing over issues which are of
no Importance to the masses of the
people.

Added to the horror of wreck today
was the explosion of 700 pounds of
giant powder, causing"death or in
jury of everyone aboard the train
on the Seeley Anderson logging road
near Bandon, when the train dashed
through a trestle 70 feet high into
tho gulch below.

Seek Information.
The English authorities,
through State Health Officer
Calvin W'hite, of Portland, have
written a letter to Dr. George
B. Houck, of Oils city, In which
they seek the details concern-
ing the death of Dr. Richard
H. Barber, a former Douglas
county health otricer who was
drowned in the vicinity of Gar-
diner early In December, 1904.
The Inquiry of the English of-
ficlalB follows the arrest of an
Impostor, who Is said to have
circulated reports throughout
England to the effect that he
was Dr. Barber, and formerly
lived at Gardiner, Douglas
county, Orogon. According to
the letter the impostor Is now
being held In England awaiting
information from the local
authorities. Inasmuch as Dr.
Barber's estate was probated
years ago, local officers cannot
understand why the so-called
Impostor would attempt to ap-
proprlate his title.

Late in December. 1904, Dr. Bar
ber was summoned by Fred Cassldy,
of Florence, who sustained a severe

reaching the Jetty and In attempting
to walk to land he fell through an
opening Into about five feet of water.
Being bruised on the Bide of the
head by the fall he wns drowned, the
body being recovered on the follow
ing day. The horse was found roam
ing about the beach nearby.
Dr. Barber's body was brought to
Drain following Its recovery and was
later Interred. For some reason
neither the undertaker who conduct
ed the funeral or tho physician who
was summoned following the drown
ing ever filed the required death
certificate. As a result the records
do not show that any such man as
Dr. Barber ever died In Douglas
county. The above Information, to
gether with more complete details,
will be sent to the English officers,
who, from the tone of their Inquiry,
are pallently awaiting a reply.
Mr. Jiarber left a widow, Jean
Barber, at present a resident of tho

With Contentment.
With the county court room crowd
ed to Its capacity with a typical
crowd of mountulueers, County Judge
G. W. Wonacott Is today listening In
the evidence and arguments In the
suit recently Instituted by Orvllle
Thrush, who asks that a guardian be
appointed over his father, Ahrahan
Thrush.
Tho entire forenoon whs consumed
In the examination of witnesses In
behalf of the Junior ThruBh, while
this afternoon witnesses summoned
y the elder 'thrush are testifying.
Tho witnesses Introduced during tlx
morning contended that Abraham
Thrush was nearly 90 years of ago,
and consequently wax Incompetent
and unfit to transact his own busi
ness. It was also alleged by several
of the witnesses that the aged man
had become quite feeble of late, and
that his memory wns fust fulling him.
Other witnesses testified that the
elder Thrush was subject to pur
suasion, and It was feared that he
would give his property away In the
event the court fulled to appoint a
guardian. 8IIII other witnesses tes
tified regarding certain Incidents
where the elder Thrush had display
ed symptoms of Incompetency. Im
portant among these Incidents was
the burying of money on his farm,
which a few weeks ago wag stolen
by some unknown person who ap
parently was well acquainted with
the premises and the habits of the
aged gentleman. These Incidents,
together with the age of the old gen
tleman, Is the foundation upon which
the younger Thrush hopes to base
a victory and thereby remove hut.
father from control of the remaining
property.
The evidence adduced by tho wit
nesses Introduced on behalf of the
older Thrush testified that the aged
gentleman was perfectly competent
to transact his business affairs, and
that the action, was brought with
view of preserving the land In order
that It might eventually fall Into,
the hands of Orvllle Thrush, the pe
tltlonor.
As In most cases of this nature,
the evidence was Boniowhai conflict
ing and tended to Indicate that oven
the members of tho Thrush htmlly
were divided on the questions at is
sue. Many times during the progress .
of the hearing the witnesses engag
ed in petty quarrels, and upon more
than one occaBlon It was necessary
for tlie presiding Judge to restore
ordor In the court room.
Among the witnesses who attract
ed considerable attention waB an ag
ed lady, who continually smoked a
pipe during the progress of the bear
ing. , .
Owing to the many witnesses who
have been summoned to testify It i
not probable that the hearing will be
concluded before late this evening, or
possibly tomorrow.
